eralllifestyle.B、Theyshouldbemorewatchfulforfataldiseases.C、Theyshouldgainweighttolookhealthy.D、Theyshouldridthemselvesoffantasiesaboutdesignerclothes.标准答案：A知识点解析：文章第6段倒数第2句提到“瘦身之后(或者本来就不胖)的人，如果以为这样就可以自然而然健康起来而不必关注自己的整个生活方式，那才是危险的。”由此可推断作者建议那些一心求瘦的女人们应该多注意她们的生活方式，A符合题意。EconomistssayconfidenceintheU.S.economyhasimprovedsincethefinancialcrisisbegan,butitisstillataverylowlevel.Thisweek,theNewYork-basedConferenceboardsaiditsconsumerconfidenceisabouthalfofwhatitwasthistimelastyear.Aspeoplestruggletodealwithjoblossesanddwindlingretirementfunds,theiroutlookofthecountry'seconomicsituationremainspessimisticduringthebiggestconsumerspendingtimeoftheyear.ClaireRusk,ashopperinAlexandria,Virginia,sayssheischangingherholidayspendinghabitsthisyearbecauseoftheeconomiccrisis,eventhoughhernine-year-oldsonexpectsChristmasasusual."Hislistislongerthanever,soIwaslisteningtohowyoutellhimthathislistbetterbeshorterthisyear,"shesaid.Rusksaysthecrisisisforcinghertothinkhardaboutherpurchases."I'mjustgoingtobemorecareful.I'mgoingtomakealist.I'mnotgoingtorandomlyshop,"shenoted."Iusuallyjustgooutandshop,butI'mgoingtohaveaplanbeforeIgooutthisyear."AndRuskisnotalone.KilmerCaban,ashopperatthePentagonCityMalloutsideWashington,D.C.,saysheisgoingtotrytospendthesameamountforgiftsaslastyear,butheknowssomeofhisfamilymembersarecuttingback."Mysisterandherhusbandsaytheywillnotbespendingasmuch,duetothecostofgasandtheeconomyandeverything,"heexplained.Someretailstoreowners,whonormallymakethebulkoftheirprofitsthistimeofyear,arehopefulthattheholidayshoppingseasonwillstillbeabletopullthemoutoftherecentslump.VictoriaBirkett,theownerofEmbellishments,agiftstoreinAlexandria,Virginia,saysshe'salittleworried,butsheislookingforwardtotheholidayrush."InthisretailbusinessIhavecutmyorderdownalittlebitfromprioryears,butIcanseepeoplearebeingalittlemorecautiousintheirspending,"shesaid."I'malittleconcerned,butitisjustbeforeThanksgiving,soI'mhopefulthatthingswillpickupjustafterThanksgiving."BirkettsayshergiftshophasnotfelttheeffectsoftheeconomiccrisisasmuchasotherstoreownerssheknowsbecauseitisclosetoWashingtonD.C.andbenefitsfromtourism.AlexanderMcCall,amanageratGameStop,inthePentagonCityMallremainsoptimisticaswell."Peoplearealittlebitmorecarefulwiththeirmoneynow,thespendinghasgonedownalittle,butIthinkallinallit'sgoingtobeagoodbusinessholidayforeverybody,"hesaid.DespitetheslumpinconsumerconfidenceMcCallstillexpectsdemandforsomeitemstorisenextmonth.16、Howaretheretiredpeopleinfluencedbytheeconomicsituation?A、Theyareforcedtoretireatanearlierage.B、Theyhavetocopewithreducedpensions.C、Theirspendingpowerhasincreasedtorecordhigh.D、Theirconfidencehasdroppedtothelowestlevel.标准答案：B知识点解析：首段末句中的struggle和dwindlingretirementfunds表明退休的人要应付退休金越来越少的生活，因此选B。A、C文中没有提到：D与文意相反。17、ClaireRuskwantedtoaskforadviceonhowto______.A、getthroughtheeconomiccrisisB、planfortheChristmasshoppingC、explaintheeconomicsituationtohersonD、changeherrandomholidayspendinghabits标准答案：C知识点解析：第2段提到ClaireRusk在经济危机下正改变自己的假日消费习惯，而她儿子仍像往常一样期待圣诞节，文中直接引语Iwaslisteningtohowyoutellhimthat．．．表明ClaireRusk想知道该如何向儿子解释在经济危机时期要缩减开支这件事，因此选C。18、KilmerCabanismentionedinordertostressthat_____.A、fewshopperscankeeptheirspendinghabitsB、ClaireRuskfacesthesamesituationC、ChristmasisthebiggestspendingtimeD、theeconomiccrisishasasweepinginfluence标准答案：D知识点解析：第3段开头提到Ruskisnotalone，接着举了KilmerCaban改变消费习惯的例子，目的是强调经济危机影响程度之深，选D。举例的目的不是强调“很少人能保持消费习惯”，排除A。B、C只是客观陈述事实，并非事例所要强调的内容。19、WhathasVictoriaBirkettdoneinordertodealwiththeeconomicsituation?A、Shehasreducedthegoodsinstock.B、ShehasspecialThanksgivinggiftsonsale.C、Shewilltrytoattractmoretourists.D、ShewillmovehershoptoWashingtonD.C.标准答案：A知识点解析：第4段第3句中的cutmyorderdown(减少了进货量)，意味着VictoriaBirkett有意减少店里的存货量，因此选A。文中没有提及VictoriaBirkett会在感恩节廉价销售特殊礼品，B不正确；选项C和D缺乏原文依据，故排除。20、Accordingtotheretailers,theshoppersare_____withtheirmoney.A、pessimisticB、restrainedC、hopefulD、miserly标准答案：B知识点解析：第4段第3句讲到人们在消费上变得有些谨慎，第5段第2句也提到人们花钱时小心了一点点，从这两处的cautious和careful可推知顾客花钱的时候很克制，因此选B。选项A是某些人对目前经济状况的态度；选项C是零售商对未来生意额的态度，不是顾客的态度。选项D“吝啬的”没有原文依据。大学英语六级改革适用（阅读）模拟试卷第2套一、词汇理解(本题共30题，每题1.0分，共30分。)Atattoomaygiveparentsofchildrenwithfoodallergiessomepeaceofmindwhentheysendtheirkidsofftoschool.Yes,atattoo—butit'sa【C1】______one.SafetyTatsellscolorfulstick-onlabelsandwash-offtattoosthat【C2】______ofanutallergyorprovideotherimportantmedicalinformation.MicheleWelsh,amother-of-three,【C3】______thecompanyaboutfiveyearsago.Theideacametoheraftershewrotehercellphonenumberonherkids'armswithapenincasetheygot【C4】______whileatanamusementparkShethenthoughtofhernephew,whohasa【C5】______fatalpeanutallergyandhowmuchtimehersister-in-lawhadspentintheemergencyroomwithhim.Whatifshecouldjusthavea【C6】______!Welshpointedoutthatcaregiversmayremembernottogivethechildapeanutbuttercookie,but【C7】______theydon'tthinktolookonthepackagingofotherproducts."Sometimesyouneedsomethingvisualtoremindotherstochecktheingredients,"shesaid"Andforolderkidsit'snotasbigofa【C8】______becausetheyknowtochecktheingredientsthemselves,butthelittlekidsarestilllearning."However,somehaveexpressed【C9】____
